My thoughts exactly: "we've got this crafty image fingerprinting, the CSAM detection use proved too controversial to roll out, but let's get the core flows into something that sounds useful for users, so the code atays alive, improving, & ready for future expansion."

Whether such fingerprinting can reliably be limited to public "landmarks" is an interesting question, dependent on unclear implementation details.

Even if the user-visible search is limited to 'landmarks', does the process pre-create (even if only on-device) fingerprints of many other things as well? If so, it suddenly becomes possible for briefly-active non-persistent malware to instantly find images of interest without the wider access & additional processing it'd otherwise take.
> The Cohens thought that placing Joco’s docking stations on private property would allow them to avoid both Citi Bike’s territory and the city’s regulatory eye. They were wrong. The NYC Department of Transportation promptly sued Joco for operating a bikeshare without prior authorization from the agency, forcing the startup to pivot away from offering consumer rides toward last-mile delivery.

It’s super sad to see the US’s ills pinned on “unrestrained capitalism” or whatever, when in reality there are more and more impediments to new businesses and new lines of business than ever before.

Depends on how you define it. Certainly the currency aspect never materialized as the major market players decide that it was better to speculate and/or use it as a store of value.

Another "failure mode" is it being made illegal in the dominant economies such that demand largely disappears. This seems less likely as wallstreet has put money in and they also buy politicians

>Do you think the Boeing whistle blowers just keep running into bad luck?

"Bad luck" implies they're dying at a higher rate than expected. Do you have any evidence that's the case, factoring in the fact that being a whistleblower is stressful? Stunt drivers probably die in occupational related deaths at a far higher rate than expected, but I don't think it's "bad luck" or make posts calling for police to reinvestigate on the off chance that the accident was actually a murder.
Yes, that's basically how it worked. To be clear, Brown was careful to promote and run it for entertainment and not a scam. He made very clear up front that those choosing to participate were very likely to lose their money and insisted that the early bet amounts were minimal "fun money". The ever-shrinking number of those continuing to later rounds had made enough from earlier wins to offset the later eventual loss.
You are exactly correct - thank you for reading and letting me know, appreciate your curiosity!
Yes, apps going behind people's back and exfiltrating personal information has become normal. That's not an argument, it's merely a statement of fact. This shouldn't be happening at all. The fact it got to this point doesn't imply it shouldn't be stopped.

No one's advocating for granular opt in either. There are much better ways. We have to make it so that data is toxic to corporations. Turn data into expensive legal liabilities they don't want to deal with. These corporations should not even be thinking about it. They should be scrambling to forget all about us the second we are done with them, not covertly collecting all the data they possibly can for "legitimate" purposes. People should be able to use their computers without ever worrying that corporations are exploiting them in any way whatsoever.

The Android situation is just as bad, by the way. Rooting is completely irrelevant. You may think you can hack it but if you actually do it the phone fails remote attestation and the corporations discriminate against you based on that, usually by straight up denying you service. On a very small number of devices, Google's phones ironically, you can access those keys and even set your own. And it doesn't matter, because the corporations don't trust your keys, they only trust the keys of other corporations. They don't care to know your device is secure, they want to know it's fully owned by Google so that you can't do things the corporations don't like.

It's not something that can be solved with technology. Computer freedom needs to become law.

How is it too expensive? It takes the same amount of time for the interview, and you presumably have a room available in the office to book for the occasional interview.

And it instantly filters out all the spam applicants and chat GPT cheaters.
They have paid search, too, which might filter (or mark) the garbage. It required knowing how more of their stack works than I wanted to learn. I couldn’t find any docs to fix the problem I had. So, I ended up using SerpStack (IIRC) with custom rendering which worked well.

That said, is anyone using the Google Search API to try to cut out a lot of the junk the author is talking about? How well has that worked?
Yea, I couldn't tell if the original comment was satire but the number of phishing ads that existed in the past for bogus positions, to pool candidates for later hiring, to farm market rate data, and who knows what else… makes me have very little empathy for the employer side.

It’s been a mess for awhile due to economies of scale benefiting the hiring side to manipulate and abuse the market. The fact it’s become more affordable for job seekers to do a bit of the same is just ironic.
I would love to use fish, but it seems there really isnt a oh-my-zsh equivalent.

I dont even need the OMZ prompt (i use starship for that), but the aliases from the kubectl and git plugins are just so great to have if you use kubectl and git often.

Other plugins (like colored-man-pages, fzf-tab and syntax-highlighting) are also nice.

Is there something like that for fish?

Oh-my-fish has some of those features, but it seems to be abandoned.
I’ve been running my own mail server since forever on a VPS (so, stable IP address, which helps). Still need a third-party spam filter as the primary MX to avoid the deluge, and my mail doesn’t always land reliably. But it’s kind of a point of pride or stubbornness.
I don’t.

I highly suggest everyone else does their darnedest not too either. Don’t do it in your own software. Refuse and push back against it at $dayJob.

I realize that my small contribution as a privacy and data-respecting SWE is extremely small, but if we all push back against the MBAs telling us to do these things, the world will be better off.
A toothbrush doesn't have the same space constraints, so they can just have relatively large seals, and they seal a relatively small opening (enough to fit a AA battery through).

It might well be possible to do this in a phone, but this sort of reasoning to come to that conclusion seems faulty. Like saying "Phones should be able to blow buildings apart. After all, tanks do it, so it's clearly possible."
Isn't it an asset or commodity, and not a currency,[0] and subject to speculative swings? If so, that would make it like a stock, and some stocks have held up over time, only to collapse.

The 3 factors in the OP would apply, including the effect of selling large blocks of shares. I don't know the concentration/distribution among owners.

We can only speculate on black swans. A worldwide scandal? (bribes, blackmail on a global scale) Or maybe AI grabs all the electrical energy? Just wild guesses.

Corporate jobs are nearly always on Windows machines. Cygwin+GitBash can usually sneak past the gate without raising too many eyebrows. WSL is still voodoo dark mark that can require conversations to get IT to allow.
Yes, and you can fulfill this growing demand by raising wages, which is essentially the market mechanism to bring in additional supply. Another way to address this is by importing cheaper labor from abroad.

For American workers, it is better to let wages rise than to import foreign labor (which would ultimately suppress wage growth).

Therefore, importing labor does suppress wages — as you've essentially demonstrated yourself.

Probably worse from what I understand. Seniors are more specialized but also (hopefully) have a network.
Very likely yes. Why else would they add a feature that incurs costs for them as an update, at no cost to the users (and not even make a fuss about it)?

It is obvious they are monetizing this feature somehow. Could be as innocuous as them training their AI dataset, or feeding into their growing ad business (locations and other things identified in the photos), or collaboration with law enforcement for various purposes (such as notifying the CCP about people's Winnie-the-Pooh memes), or a lot more ominous things.
There are. So many of them have pricing models that become unaffordable quickly for personal users. I hosted email for 6 people in my immediate family and per-user pricing added up quickly. I used SpamHero for quite a while and it did a pretty good job, and $10/mo for a whole domain was worth it to me.

An interesting take. Seen from the viewpoint of the worker I can see why blaming management has appeal.

Of course your argument leads to two conclusions;

A) given how badly these companies are managed, and how it will be cheaper in the long run to make use of local talent, the market must be ready for a new wave of companies that rise up. Certainly (it would seem) the local workers are available, and ready to work. Certainly there are enough ex-workers who well understand what bad management looks like, and won't make the same mistake.

B) since this outsourcing is expensive, in the long run, I expect incumbents to start failing soon. There's no need to make thus behavior illegal, the market will simply correct naturally to the most efficient path.

The natural approach of the American Entrepreneur is to see where things are going wrong, and step into the gap - forging the next success.

Where you see companies failing, I see opportunity.
Here's an article that sheds light on how many of these billionaires think:
https://www.theguardian.com/news/2022/sep/04/super-rich-prep...

Excerpt: "They knew armed guards would be required to protect their compounds from raiders as well as angry mobs. One had already secured a dozen Navy Seals to make their way to his compound if he gave them the right cue. But how would he pay the guards once even his crypto was worthless? What would stop the guards from eventually choosing their own leader? The billionaires considered using special combination locks on the food supply that only they knew. Or making guards wear disciplinary collars of some kind in return for their survival."
It looks like they work at Google, based on their GitHub (assuming the same username) -- so no, it's sadly not open source :(

A real shame, I think Bazel's lack of good IDE options definitely hampers its adoption.
Why are you asking this given what the parent comment described? Are you accusing them of lying or blowing things out of proportion?

> It's probably a pretty large set of people, perhaps even the majority, since I'd suspect that most people don't pay for additional iCloud storage and can't fit their photo library into 5GB.

Large set? Yes. Majority? No. CIRP says 2/3 of US Apple users pay for iCloud storage[0]. It's this popular for the exact reason you mentioned. Almost no one can fit their photo library into 5GB so they opt in to the cheap 50GB for $0.99/month. 50GB is enough for a lot of people.

I’m not an expert, but I would say extremely small.

For comparison Hunyuan video encodes a shit-ton of videos and rudimentary real world physics understanding, at very high quality in only 13B parameters.
LLAMA 3.3 encodes a good chunk of all the knowledge available to humanity in only 70B parameters.
And this is only considering open source models, the closed source one may be even more efficient.

Something like Canadarm?

I suppose ISS is being decommissioned in a big part because the big hardware there is approaching / has approached the end of its practical life. The metal has accumulated fatigue here and there. The solar panels are heavy and inefficient, compared to more modern developments, except for the newest array mounted in 2021.

Maybe some of the newest hardware could be transferred to a lower orbit for cheaper than bringing up brand new hardware from Earth.

The thing is that the newest ISS modules, barely 4 years old, are Russian (Nauka + Prichal); the newest module before that is the Japanese science module from 2008. It could probably be still reused, it's barely 16 years old %)
Why is the ISS not being privatized or boosted into a higher orbit for possible later use?
interesting paper and lots of really well done bits. As a senior dev that uses LLM extensively: This paper was using copilot in 2023 mostly. I used it and chatgpt in that timeframe, and took chatgpts output 90% of the time; copilot was rarely good beyond very basic boilerplate for me, in that time period. Which might explain why it helped jr devs so much in the study.

Somewhat related, i have a good idea what i can and cannot ask chatgpt for, ie when it will and wont help. That is partially usage related and partially dev experience related. I usually ask it to not generate full examples, only minimal snippets which helps quite a bit.

Freedom of speech can not exist without private communications. It is an inalieanable right, therefore privacy is as well.
I grew up in a rural area, where everyone has a southern accent, which sounds like nothing but music to me. My relatives tend to live next to expanses of farmland, as I myself previously lived for years. Although I’ve recently moved to the city that’s about 45 minutes from where I grew up—-due to a return-to-office policy and also managing to use years of experience to land a solid software job in my home state—-I regularly drive out through woods and fields to spend time with people to whom I mean a great deal more than I ever will to any employer. Having a larger salary than most doesn’t change who I am in the least. I am one of those very people for whom you claim to speak.

My family was heartbroken over the years that I lived away from them. At times, they wondered what they might have done wrong to cause me to leave them. Moving away from my roots, to pursue my only job offer after undergrad, was the opposite of social cohesion. Many of my peers from high school——the size of my graduating class was 69——do not make anywhere near my income, and none of them feel any resentment towards me about it, just like they don’t resent the farmers who own hundreds of acres of farmland (my tech salary doesn’t come close to what some rural people make) or the classmates who went to medical school or got their JD. If anything, we feel mutual pride for what one another has accomplished. (The accomplishment, in fact, is not the money, but in living true to one’s values and contributing to something greater than yourself, something I was at times forced to betray to work in software.) I feel that your sampling method didn’t pick up on something really crucial about small, rural communities, where people tend to grow up together and to know one another for life, in continuation of multi-generational relationships among their families.

Rural areas will do just fine if people like myself choose to live modestly among people they care about, in a county that doesn’t even have the convenience of a grocery store, instead of in one of the most expensive places on earth.
That was always the norm for me.
